Personnel
Rutherford D. Rogers assumes the position 

of University Librarian at Yale University July 
1, 1969. For five years Stanford University 

has been graced by 
one of the most able 
librarians in the field 
—a man whom Ed­
ward G. Freehafer 
described as combin­
ing “excellence with 
intelligence, success 
with modesty. As an 
a d m i n i s t r a t o r ,  h e  
guides with a gentle 
rein and under his di­
rection things seem to 

Mr. Rogers fall naturally into their 
proper places.” This is

an accurate assessment, and no higher compli­
ment can be bestowed. Rudy deserves all of 
the many accolades that he has received in his 
brilliant career.

In characterizing his career and his personal­
ity one seeks for such words as “gentleman,” 
“scholar,” "humanist”; yet these fall short of 
measuring the man. He is a combination of 
warm colleague, kind friend, and library ad­
ministrator par excellence. With a keen mind, 
sharpness of perception, clarity in the spoken 
word, and lucid precision in writing, he has a 
singular ability to cut to the essence of a prob­
lem and a notable knack of keeping basic 
priorities of effort from being dissipated in use­
ful but peripheral efforts. The result is that a 
library organization moves forward in strides. 
His years at Stanford enabled the institution to 
establish sharply increased levels of library per­
formance, rate of growth, quality of staff, and, 
aided by the grace of his personality, to obtain 
for the library the enthusiastic backing by the 
University administration of a new level of li­
brary endeavor. Yale is to be congratulated on 
its choice.

Rudy was President of the Association of Re­
search Libraries in 1967-68, and a member of 
its Board of Directors for the past three years. 
He has been Second Vice-President of the Amer­
ican Library Association in 1965-66; Chairman 
of the ARL Liaison Committee with the Na­
tional Advisory Commission on Libraries in 
1966-67; a member of the ALA Executive 
Board 1961-65; a Trustee of the ALA Endow­
ment Fund 1966-68; Chairman of the Joint Li­
braries Committee on Fair Use in Photocopy­
ing, 1964-66; and a member of the USOE Ad­
visory Committee for Title II of Library Serv­
ices and Construction Act for California since 
1965. He has been active in the Bibliographical

Society of America, the Archons of Colophon, 
the Grolier Club, the Cosmos Club, the Rox- 
burghe Club of San Francisco, and the Book 
Club of California, as well as being a founding 
member of the United States Capitol Historical 
Society. He may have played a sparkling game 
of tennis in Washington, but he is also known 
on the West Coast as a formidable golf partner 
and a fanatical basketball fan.

California’s loss is clearly Connecticut’s gain, 
and his many close friends at Stanford Uni­
versity will miss Rudy and Margaret and their 
daughter, Janie, who have for five years been 
such a gracious part of the University and the 
Bay Area.—David C. Weber, Stanford Univer­
sity.

A P PR E N T IC E  SURVEYORS
Names of 115 librarians who would welcome 

opportunities to serve as apprentice surveyors 
have been collected by th e  ACRL Committee 
on Library Surveys. These are persons who 
wrote in response to an invitation from the 
Committee in th e  November 1968 issue of 
C írR L  News; they are located in 33 states and 
2 Canadian provinces, and their interests and 
special qualifications are as diverse as th e prob­
lems encountered in surveys of college and uni­
versity libraries.

Collection of th e names was the first step in 
an effort by the Committee to increase the 
num ber of well qualified surveyors by provid­
ing opportunities for experience. The Commit­
tee recommends th a t each survey team  include 
an apprentice member, and invites directors of 
surveys to draw  upon its roster. It will welcome 
opportunities to suggest names of prospective 
apprentices who seem to be particularly well 
prepared to contribute to any survey th a t is 
being planned. Requests for information should 
be addressed to Edw in E. Williams, Chairman, 
ACRL Committee on Library Surveys, W idener 
Library 183, H arvard University, Cambridge, 
Mass. 02138. ■■
